Horse-drawn ambulance
The hospital's first horse-drawn ambulance was purchased in 1888 and used until 1914. "In those days the ambulance was horse drawn. If there was an accident case coming in, from out of town, they would telephone ahead and the ambulance would meet them at the Railroad Station. The ambulance would come back like a fire engine, the horses galloping, and round the corner into Farnam. When we heard the horses, we would run down to the Emergency Room."
